Genesee Ice

◎ Appearance

Pours a clear pale straw colour with excellent transparency. A thin, durable collar of white foam forms at the pour and clings persistently to the glass walls, gradually receding into fine lacing. Carbonation is evident and properly integrated.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with a pronounced corn adjunct character, supported by clean grainy malt impressions. Hop aromatics are subdued, allowing the sweet grain and cereal notes to dominate. No off-odours or yeast-derived esters are present; the profile remains straightforward and inviting.

◐ Taste

Entry brings lightly toasted malt with a soft sweetness derived from adjunct sugars, creating a syrupy quality on the mid-palate. Bitterness is minimal and nearly imperceptible, keeping the beer accessible and smooth. The elevated alcohol (5.5% ABV) introduces a subtle warmth that balances the sweetness without asserting itself.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length, with residual corn sweetness persisting into the aftertaste. Clean and uncomplicated, the beer leaves no harsh notes or lingering bitterness.
